Maricyasana III: Study Point of the Week

How can you get more deeply into your upper back? When we twist, we tend to keep the twist in the mid-back, around T-11, T-12, and L-1. Getting it into the upper back is a powerful way of increasing the twist and making it deeper.

I like to focus on really drawing the shoulder blade back into my rib cage. That brings more awareness into my upper back area so I can access what I need to do to twist more from there. Sometimes I put my hand on the wall behind me to assist in the feeling.

I also like when someone draws their finger up my spine from the base up. With their touch I can tap into areas of my spine where I am not yet twisting.

It's not really spine, for me it's more shoulder blade too. When in this twist, as in many twists for me, the extra added openness comes from sliding my shoulder blades a little closer together.
